How does OpenClovis save persistently the configuration data?

Hi,
How does OpenClovis save persistently the configuration data?
What is the format of storage for configuration data?
And what is the performance of configuration recovery when startup?

Thanks

Hi Ken,
Clovis Object Registry(COR) has mechanisms to persist the configuration data.
It needs some database to store the persistent data.
Performance depends on the number of configuration objects. Do you have any idea on how many configuration objects are there in your set up?? This will help in answering ur qsns better.

Thanks,
Hari

Hi Hari,
Could you make a description of the mechanisms of how clovis
to persist the configuration data? I have never see any description
about the persistence and recovery of configuration data in your
document.According the OpenClovis ASP UserGuide, There are two kinds of
configuration data which need to be persisted. One is the configuration
data in COR,which is the attribute of COR object,the other is the
configuration data maintained by application. Right? Does both of them
need to be persisted to some database ,and are there some
differences of persistence between them?

I haven't enumerate how many configuration objects
in our system. Have you tested the performance of configuration
recovery? Are there some successful application based on
OpenClovis?

Thanks

Hi Ken,
What needs to be persisted to acheive availability goals is majorly determined by the users of openClovis ASP. So in the modeling phase if one chooses to persist objects of certain type then such objects would be persisted and the restored during a restart.
How COR acheives this is probably gets a mention in a design document rather than a user document.
COR has been tested to work with 100000 objects and it works. There are couple of customers who use it extensively.

Hope this helps,
Hari
